Wow! That's more than I thought.

Christine, What training week he is in can be a mystery right now.

Grin

The first week is processing, and is not counted as a  training week. The tricky part is whether the division your son is in and his brother division was put on processing hold or p hold.

If his division and brother division were lucky enough to get started right away training week 1 day 1 would have been May 19th or 20th. Today would be training Week 1 day 5, or Week 2 day 1. However, if the divisions were put on p hold, they could have just started week 1. Not much help right now am I? LOL

Ask your recruit to date his letter, and ask what week/day he is on. You can count from there. Once you can get the correct week/day you can stay right on the money.

OK, I have two. How many are usually in a division? And is the meet and greet at Sarge's crowded?
Comment by ChristineC on May 22, 2015 at 6:01pm

OK.  Here's my next question.  My son's been at RTC for 11 days, since Tuesday, May 12.  So, that puts him in which week?  Do the weeks I keep seeing in documents that explain what happens in each week of boot camp start on Mondays?  If so, does week 2 for our recruits start this Monday?  Basically, I'm wanting to know what he's doing!

Also remember your Sailor can't leave the airport. They are not on leave when flying out for school. That might also help in your decision.

Christine, Ask as many questions whenever you want to. One or the other of us is hanging around most of the time. :)

Comment by ChristineC on May 22, 2015 at 5:31pm

Thanks, Ellen0502, for this and your willingness to spend time answering all our questions!  I'll wait a while to ask my next one. 

Comment by ellen0502 on May 22, 2015 at 5:29pm

You will not know for sure what airport your Sailors will be flying out of until sometime in the last couple weeks of BC. I would make your reservations for the entire time of your stay at the same hotel, until you find out what time, what airport, and if you need to change.

Comment by ChristineC on May 22, 2015 at 5:27pm

Hey again.  I found this post from April 2014. It's helpful, I think, although doesn't give a definite answer since we won't know where they're going to fly from until much closer to PIR. Here's the post...... NanM:  I'm assuming by reading your earlier posts that your sailor is flying out to A School.  You asked about a hotel at the airport....if he flies out of OHare, there is a Hilton there within the airport.  However, he will not know the exact time he is flying out until shortly before PIR---nor the airport he will fly from.  They are bussed to the airports during the night, some flying out early in the morning and others waiting until later, some not leaving until later in the afternoon.  For those sailors, some people rent a room at the Hilton for the day rate of $55 so they have a place to rest with their sailor.

Not sure it would be beneficial to get a hotel close to the airport in order to see your sailor.  Might be just as well to stay at something like Navy Lodge Thurs and Fri nights, and then just head to the airport around 3 a.m. or so to visit with your sailor.

All of "vet" moms here have Sailors. We can answer most all of your questions. We have Sailors who have stayed in GL for school, and flown out for school. We have Sailors in the states and overseas, Sailors in reserves, active duty, and honorably discharged.

Ask away!!!! :)
